Paradigm Shift is a collection of eleven journals chronicling the life and travels of American Thor Wilcox between 2001 and 2022. Traversing the globe often on a shoestring budget, this collection offers a unique window into the mind, lifestyle, and adventures of this 20-40 year old, who seems to grow up before your very eyes. Sometimes failing miserably and sometimes conveying timeless wisdom collected from decades of international travel and attempting to find the world's best party. From an alcohol-fueled adolescent wanting nothing more than to have fun, travel, and visit the full moon parties across South-East Asia, to a grown human fascinated with paranormal phenomena, extraterrestrials, and how to best spend your brief existence on this strange planet we call Earth. Obsessed with literature, spirituality, and understanding the deeper truths hidden throughout our global society. Collected quotes, books, and life lessons from 20 years of travel and research.
